Cleaner shrimp have a high mortality rate during shipping if they do not have something in the bag to hold onto, such as a piece of rubble. During acclimation, I would think the same would be true. They just have to have something to hold onto or they become very stressed.

Even when I bought cleaner shrimp from the basement guy, waaaaay long ago, he would put a 1/2 square of plastic mesh stuff for the shrimp to hold onto just for the trip home. When I recently bought shrimp from AI, they put a bit of rubble in the bag.
